Lawyers

Since its founding, Fishman Haygood’s goal has been to hire the best people to do quality work.

Fishman Haygood also welcomes recognized, qualified leaders from top law firms across the nation as lateral hires. In interviewing experienced attorneys to join our team, we consider professional achievement, judicial clerkship experience, and academic record.
